This invention relates to suspended'pookets,

and more particularly to a pocket device for convenient attachment to calendars and other suspended sheet material.

Without limiting the scope of this patent to calendars, I will state that my object is to produce a simple pocket device in the form of an inexpensive separate sheet to be folded and interlocked with the suspension sheet.

With the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention comprises the specific cooperative arrangement of details herein shown and described to illustrate one form of the invention. However, it is to be understood that the scope of this patent extends to variations more broadly described by claims hereunto appended.

Fig. 1 is a front view of a suspension device in the form of a calendar, with portions of the calendar sheet broken away.

Fig. 2 is a view similar to Fig. 1 with the calendar sheets removed to more fully expose a pocket at the bottom of a suspension sheet.

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the lower portion of a suspension sheet with an upturned bottom margin which may be employed in anchoring the separate pocket sheet.

Fig. 4 is a detail view of the separate pocket sheet as it appears in a flat condition, before folding into interlocking relationship with the suspension sheet.

Fig. 5 is a front view on a larger scale showing the pocket device attached to a suspension sheet,

portions of said suspension sheet and pocket device being broken away.

Fig. 6 is a vertical section, drawn to a still larger scale, showing the suspended pocket device anchored to the suspension sheet, the latter being shown by a solid black line.

The device shown in Fig. 1 appears in the form of a calendar comprising a paper suspension sheet I and calendar sheets 8 attached thereto, together with a special paper pocket device at the rear' of the calendar sheets. In this form of the invention, the suspension sheet I has an upturned bottom margin 9, shown most clearly in Figures .3, 5, and 6, and this inexpensive upturned margin i:-9is employed in anchoring the separate pocket to the suspension sheet.

Attention is now directed to Fig. 4 which shows a separate sheet adapted to be folded on hinge lines i0, H and I2. These lines may be formed by scoring or otherwise weakening the blank sheet shown in Fig. 4 to provide for free folding along said lines.

This blank pocket sheet of Fig. 4 includes a seccorporation of'Missouri Application February '7, 1941;, Sei'ial N hen is as be pedes al; the rearergthe-stspen an area -1' and-s'i'dehats in rowed "*tdward each other on the hinge lines Ill so as to lie in front of and embrace the suspension sheet I. See Figures 2, 5 and 6 for illustrations of this embracing condition. Also notice that the embracing side flaps H are located between the body of the suspension sheet! and its upturned bottom margin 9, so as to limit downward displacement of the folded side flaps [4, thereby limiting downward displacement of the pocket sheet.

The pocket sheet shown in Fig. 4 has a lower extension l5 folded upwardly on the line I I below the bottom of said upturned margin 9 to limit upward displacement of the separate pocket device. This folded condition appears in Figures 2, 5 and 6. The embracing side flaps M are anchored inside of the upturned margin 9 so as to limit downward displacement of the pocket device with relation to the suspension sheet I, while the pocket fold at II lies below the suspension sheet to limit upward displacement.

To provide additional anchorage for the loosely suspended pocket. the blank sheet shown in Fig. 4

has a continued bottom extension ll which may clearly shows that the simple embracing sheet can be utilized to form a double pocket; one at the front and another at the rear of the suspension sheet 1. The top of the rear member 13 in Fig. 6 is separable from the back of the suspension sheet to produce an entrance for a rear pocket, while the upper portions of the folded flaps M are separable from the front of this suspension sheet 1 to form an entrance for a front pocket.

It will be observed that the invention has highly advantageous commercial advantages in the broad idea of loosely anchoring paper pockets to paper suspension sheets under simple conditions wherein the folded paper limits upward or downward displacement of the suspended pockets. In the light of this disclosure, various modifications will suggest themselves in the design of devices difiering from the details of Figures 3 and 4. Therefore, it is to be understood that the present into the space between said upturned bottomv margin and the body of said suspension sheet, to limit downward displacement-act the double 4 said suspension sheet and having folded side flaps located between the body of the suspension sheet and its upturned bottom margin, said separate pocket sheet also having an extension folded upwardly below the bottom of said suspension sheet to lie in front of said side flaps, and a continued extension folded over said side flaps and extend- 'ing downwardly between the side-"flaps; and the suspension sheet, so as to anchor the separate in pocket sheet to the suspension sheet.
